Grilled Carrots with Cumin-Serrano Yogurt image

Carrots love to burn when grilled over direct high heat; better to park them over a cooler spot on the grate and keep the cover closed if possible.

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 pounds carrots with tops, scrubbed, tops trimmed to 1 inch
2 bunches spring onions or scallions, tops trimmed, halved lengthwise
4 tablespoons olive oil, divided
Kosher salt
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
1 serrano chile, finely chopped, plus more sliced for serving
1 cup plain whole-milk Greek yogurt
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
2 tablespoons chopped mint, plus leaves for serving
Special Equipment
A spice mill or mortar and pestle

Steps:

  • Prepare a grill for medium-low heat. Toss carrots and spring onions on a rimmed baking sheet with 2 Tbsp. oil; season with salt. Grill (covered if possible), turning often and moving to a cooler part of the grill if they are browning too quickly, until crisp-tender, 15-20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, toast cumin in a dry small skillet over medium heat, tossing often, until slightly darkened and fragrant, about 2 minutes. Let cool; grind in spice mill or with mortar and pestle. Mix in a medium bowl with chopped serrano, yogurt, lime juice, chopped mint, and remaining 2 Tbsp. oil; season with salt.
  • Spoon yogurt onto a platter; arrange carrots and onions over. Top with mint leaves and sliced chile.
  • Do Ahead
  • Yogurt can be made 2 days ahead. Cover and chill.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover carrots. I had a bunch of carrots that were starting to go bad, and this recipe was a great way to use them up.

I'm not a big fan of yogurt, but I really enjoyed the serrano yogurt sauce in this recipe. It added a nice tanginess to the carrots.

These carrots were a bit too smoky for my taste. I think I'll try grilling them for less time next time.

Not a fan of cumin, but the serrano yogurt was delicious. I'll try this recipe again with a different spice.
